Masquerade Ball
To celebrate Halloween AND the Canadian release of Rookie Yearbook One, we had a costume party on Saturday night at Magic Pony in Toronto.
Here are some snapshots of the awesome costumes we saw that night, all courtesy of Magic Pony, except where indicated (this one, for example, came from Julia Pohl-Miranda from Drawn and Quarterly).
Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to put names to everyone’s faces. If you spy your mug in any of these photos, let us know in the comments and we’ll ID you.

Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥
These are so amazing. Tavi and Petra, I love your costumes and that cake looks

Is Rookie planning a trip to Scandinavia, particularly Norway or Denmark anytime soon? Would be soo great!!
Also, damn jealous of the cake and all the amazing Frida Kahlo-costumes.. <3
Once we are a gigantic empire I hope we have a spacecraft that takes us everywhere to meet Rooks everywhere. But also: we are not that special! These events will still be really fun if they’re reader-organized. We try to reblog any info about reader-organized Rookie events we see on our tumblr. But ultimate goal is, um, world domination.
WAIT WHAT TAVI NO THATS KILLING ME I CANT WAIT FOR TOMORROW THATS TOO LONG WHAT NO wheres the nearest delorean.

Log in to replyIt didn’t look backwards! Also, I was secretly admiring your glasses the entire time. Where’d you get them?
Log in to replyYeah it didn’t look too bad, but when I got in the car I realized and felt really silly! (it wasn’t even the whole night though, I adjusted my hair while dancing and must’ve put the headband on backwards)
And my glass are these http://www.ray-ban.com/canada/products/sun/RB4132?var=710/51 sunglasses but with prescription lenses :)
